  • Patent number: 11989956
    Abstract: Systems and methods for object detection generate a feature pyramid corresponding to image data, and rescaling the feature pyramid to a scale corresponding to a median level of the feature pyramid, wherein the rescaled feature pyramid is a four-dimensional (4D) tensor. The 4D tensor is reshaped into a three-dimensional (3D) tensor having individual perspectives including scale features, spatial features, and task features corresponding to different dimensions of the 3D tensor. The 3D tensor is used with a plurality of attention layers to update a plurality of feature maps associated with the image data. Object detection is performed on the image data using the updated plurality of feature maps.

    Abstract: A system is provided for measuring a power radiated pattern of an incident radio frequency (RF) signal indicating spatial distribution characteristics of a device under test (DUT). The system includes multiple antenna elements arranged in an array, where the antenna elements include antennas and diodes coupled to the antennas, respectively. Each antenna has a radar cross-section (RCS) that is too small for the antenna elements to operate in a reflect mode. Each diode is zero biased, such that the diodes receive the incident RF signal through the antennas to which the diodes are respectively coupled, and rectify the incident RF signal to DC voltages that are proportional to power of the incident RF signal, enabling the antenna elements to operate in a detect mode.
